Re: Chaparral

It seems like Spyderco has given up on introducing new handle materials which was one of the original missions of the Chaparral line. The last Chaparral with a new handle material was Birdseye Maple which was at dealers in January 2021. Perhaps like the Sage line, we’ll soon end up with just FRN sc...

Re: Jende Spyderco stones for guided sharpeners.

Interesting, they do list a US facility: USA - 1900 E. GIrard Pl. #300 Englewood, CO 80133 Is it possible they are cutting the spyderco 2x8 stones down and reselling them? We also switched gears with our sharpening stones to focus more on the custom cut stone sizes for the growing number of guided ...

Re: Smock: new style pivot

On one hand I can appreciate CQI. On the other hand these rolling changes lessen the value of the pre-CQI models. Or it could actually increase the collector value because it’s the original version that is no longer being made. ;) For example, a collector might be willing to pay a little bit extra ...

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

Wasn't worth $300 back then, not worth $450 now I agree. I passed on the SB when they were originally for sale. Not interested now. I have plenty of other Ti framelock knives that make me happy. However, the SB apparently makes a lot of other people happy. Obviously, based on this latest run, it's ...

Re: Upping the price.

Prices are inflated for everything. It's not just a Spyderco thing I'm fortunate to have a nice collection and most of the knives I have I was able to get below the normal price. Some I've purchased at normal price. It was my choice. So I can't complain. Those who are complaining, how many of these ...

Re: RIP - Toby Keith

Yeah I heard first thing this morning. I'm big music fan, including Toby Keith and country music. Last I heard I thought he was doing better but probably just a late rally.

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

I still don't see what the thrill is with the SB. I wasn't interested back when the original one was disco'd and reasonably priced. Definitely not interested in one at $450

I also found these disassembly photos of the nested liners version, where the stop pin is in a different location on the blade:

I am wonder Whether the motivation was the very thin stock and thus the spring / backlock might be showing too much flex without the stop pin.
Sage 4 has the internal stop pin

Yeah. I will likely buy one to try the steel but I find burnt orange particularly awful as well.
I don't necessarily think it's awful but I don't particularly like it and I already have a half dozen other knives with it

Re: Does anyone have any pictures from the Spyderco booth at the 2024 Shot Show?

i'm going to have to make it to one of these shows someday. Says everyone here, every year! :squinting-tongue My parents used to go every year to see all the new shooting gear and place orders for the year for our gun store. I never got to go and always wanted to. I keep saying I'm going to make it...
